The arrival honors was followed by Rear Admiral Mikhailov’s visit at Headquarters Naval Special Operations Group which culminated with a partner run down of both Russian Marines and NAVSOG in the obstacle course of Naval Special Operations School to highlight Russian-Philippine Navy friendship.

“A historic visit of Russian Navy to the Philippine Fleet and Naval Special Operations Group (NAVSOG) during the five-day Russian Navy Goodwill Visit in the Philippines, a first in the 80 years existence of the Philippine Fleet,” the Philippine Fleet said.
